Is the starter motor turning the engine over? Not clear in original post.
If it was a front bulb, check all the connections under the bonnet, possibly caught a connecting block

Has your 206 got the big red fuel cut off button under the bonnet by the passenger side strut.

Is the starter spinning? If just clicking then could be battery or earth connection
If it is spinning, sounds like starter not engageing onto fly wheel. Give the starter a clout while someone turns the key

If it starts with a knock then probably solenoid needed. They can work fine for weeks then miss once, then work fine again and never have another problem with it.
Just keep your wheel brace handy lol
